About Me

I am a wanna be gardener, chef, knitter, seamstress, author, and yoga student. Thankfully I am married to my best friend Matt who happily tolerates all of my hobbies and helps me make my dreams come true. I love foreign languages, down time, my chacos and a good vanilla latte. I used to love traveling, but I am slowly becoming more of a homebody. I thrive on having a plan, and I love fresh flowers. I have a secret weakness for goldfish and fresh rosemary.

We are privileged to live in the mountains of North Carolina, where we don’t need air conditioning and the people are friendly. We “farm” a small vegetable garden and try to eat as much local, in-season food as we can. We have two gorgeous 50 year old apple trees outside our kitchen window, where we often spot deer helping themselves to a snack.
